I’ve been having trouble lately with my own ideas about what we should do now, where we should go, how we should proceed. At first, I was resolute in the opinion that anyone who has ever committed a terrorist act or supported those who have committed terrorist acts is automatically guilty by association and is […]

Anti-Arab demonstrators marched in Chicago. Mosques and Islamic centers are being vandalized. A 75-year-old drunk driver (a real model American, huh?) tried to run over a Pakistani woman before following her into a store and threatening to kill her.

We had a “Town Meeting” in the chapel yesterday morning. I was under the impression that it was to be an academic Welcome Back sort of affair. The “Town Meeting” began with a sermon from our Head Chaplain. He is a nice man but when he preaches he tacks on an “ah” to certain words. […]

Great, I’m #1 on Google’s “Wil Wheaton-is he gay?” search list. I guess that’s better than being #1 on a search for “Lads in their underwear,” which happened back in November of 2000. Remember that site that I brag about off and on, Four Fine Lads? Well, on a day that I wrote about the […]
